Heard something about this earlier, and I'm a bit skeptical to be honest.

The location is a bit baffling as it's moving the problem from the western bypass to the Durham road corridor. That's if it gets used of course. I can't see it being massively popular unless folk are forced into it, either by congestion charging, increased rates on city centre parking, and so on.

It's also quite long distance for a park and ride service. It's a good 15-20 mins to the city centre if you take into account the bus is most likely going to have stopping and timing points. Are people really going to entertain that idea?

I'd have thought if anything, a site would have been identified with an easy link to Metro possible.
